Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Where to find ren:
@useless_modern_god@aussie.zone posted an article about US College radio stations (read post).
I suggested starting a thread with some good radio station streams and podcasts (from where-ever)…so here it is.
My idea would be to include:
I will post a couple below to start off.
3RRR (AKA Triple R), Melbourne, Australia
Starting off as the station of RMIT (University) in Melbourne with an Educational licence in 1976, it became closely associated with the Melbourne post punk and new wave subcultures…e.g Nick Cave etc. It's now part of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia and funded by community sponsorships and public subscribers (I am one). It's not just music and there's a lot of variety, with talk/educational shows on subjects ranging from marine biology, gardening, the arts, cooking, philosophy, science and lots in-between.
Here are some specific music shows that might suit this community that you can listen to on demand:
You beauty!This is excellent!
